Chapter 172 Chapter 26 Tu Shu Divides Han Sui (8)

Han Sui pondered for a while, and said: "I have a plan as a last resort, everyone listens first, and then judges. "Cao Cao's army has marched so far. If we don't take Guanzhong, we will never give up. If our army fights hard again, we will have no strength. Guanzhong will be lost in the end, and the army will suffer. It's not that I am afraid of death, so I am old. Old man, death is nothing to cherish, it's just for my Xiliang army's plan, I think the current plan is to negotiate a peace with Cao Cao, first ask to stay in Xiliang, and then try to restore it after partial security."

Ma Chao was furious when he heard the words, and once again slammed the case and shouted: "Our army has not yet fought the Cao bandit. Uncle has destroyed his own ambition and made others more powerful. Didn't he hand over Guanzhong to Cao Cao? You have surrendered, but I have not. Ma Chao As the military and democratic commander of Xiliang, I will never allow you to discuss peace with Cao Cao right now!" After saying this, he was still furious. Han Sui looked at the generals, but seeing that everyone was silent, he sighed and said, "Then, let's fight Cao Cao to the death, but I don't know how many soldiers and civilians in Guanzhong we will hurt again!"

On the second night of 165, the wind was bitter, the moon was dark and the stars were dark.Ma Chao ordered Han Sui to guard the camp, and personally led the elite soldiers directly under him, together with several generals, to attack Cao Cao's main camp in the dark. Marching in the forefront were Zhang Heng and Hou Qian's iron cavalry, about 2,000 people; after that, Ma Chao's direct subordinates were 5,000 elite soldiers, and a group of soldiers and horses moved quickly and silently. was discovered. Zhang Heng and Hou Qian charged into Cao's camp with their horses, shouted, and the iron cavalry rushed in. Unexpectedly, all the soldiers fell into the ground one after another. It turned out that Cao Cao had already driven his troops to set a trap.With the sound of the cannon, suddenly the lights were brightly lit, and Cao Jun, who had been ambushing already, rushed out from all directions, killing to his heart's content.

Unfortunately, both Zhang Heng and Hou Qian also fell into the pit, and before they could struggle, they were beheaded by the rebel army.Ma Chao and others arrived later, knowing that they had been fooled, the army hurried back to their horses and fled. Ma Chao, Ma Dai, Yang Qiu, Cheng Yi, Cheng Yin and others jumped in front of the horse camp to rescue Hou Qian and Zhang Heng.Here, Xu Chu, Xia Houyuan, Xu Huang, Yu Jin and other generals came up early to fight each other, but Xu Huang chopped Cheng Yi down with a single axe. After fighting for a while, Ma Chao saw two heads hanging on the wooden fence in front of the camp. Under the lantern, he could see clearly that they were Zhang Heng and Hou Qian.

Xu Chu, Xu Huang and others took advantage of the victory to pursue, and Ma Dai's left arm was injured by Xia Houyuan, so they fled in a hurry. Ma Chao and others turned around the mountain ridge, and saw Ma Xiu, Li Kan, Feng Yuan and others being stopped and killed by Cao Ren, Le Jin, Zhu Ling, Ding Fei and others.Ma Chao hastily teamed up with Ma Xiu and the others, fought to the death, won the way out, and fled to the base camp.Directly under the army, there were countless casualties. Over there, Han Sui had already come out to meet him.After meeting, Ma Chao was speechless.Han Sui looked at Ma Chao for a long time before saying:

"You went to steal the camp, but you fell into an ambush by Cao Cao. But I have been here worrying that Cao Cao would steal my camp instead!" Ma Chao was ashamed.Therefore, Han Sui proposed to negotiate a peace again, and the generals had no choice but to agree. On the second day of 166, Ma Chao wrote a request for peace, asking Cao Cao to withdraw his troops on the condition of cede land and sending away his young son as hostages.After finishing the book, hand it over to Han Sui. Han Sui, using Yang Qiu as his envoy, rode alone to Cao Cao's base camp, and presented a letter stating that he would cede land for peace.

After reading it, Cao Cao said to Yang Qiu, "Go back first. I will reply tomorrow." Yang Qiu had no choice but to go back. As soon as Yang Qiu left, Jia Xu came into the tent to see Cao Cao and asked, "What do you think the prime minister wants?" Cao Cao said: "With my current victorious army, it is easy to defeat him. How can I accept his surrender? If I accept it, I will only occupy a part of Guanzhong. If I refuse, the entire Guanxi will be included in my territory. Don't you think so? " Jia Xu smiled and replied: "It's not true. Although our army is brave now, it is still difficult to conquer Ma Chao's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in one fell swoop. If the prime minister agrees to their peace negotiation request, it will not cost a single soldier." One pawn, Ma Chao will destroy himself!"

Cao Cao hurriedly asked, "How can you see it?" Jia Xu laughed again and said, "It's just a separation between Ma Chao and Han Sui!" Cao Cao had an epiphany and was overjoyed. He said, "Sir finally contrived a clever plan for me to collect Guanzhong in one fell swoop. What a genius!" Jia Xu laughed loudly: "Prime Minister is disrespectful and has come to tease Jia Xu again..." The next day, Cao Cao personally revised a letter, sent Le Jin to Ma Chao, and said that he would gradually withdraw his troops and return Ma Chao's Hexi land.At the same time, the soldiers were ordered to build a pontoon bridge on the Weishui River.

When Ma Chao saw that Cao Cao was about to retreat, he said to Han Sui, "Cao Cao has always been scheming, and I'm afraid he's going to cheat again. What's your advice, uncle, to prevent him from changing?" Han Sui pondered slightly, and said: "My late father was promoted as Xiaolian in the same year as Cao Cao, and my age is also similar to Cao Cao. I also met several times when I was in Luoyang. Why don't you invite him to come to my camp to talk about it in the future?" Make a good relationship and let him take back his dishonesty." Ma Chao said: "Since you have an old relationship, why not give it a try?"

So Han Sui revised a letter and sent Yang Qiu to Cao Ying.Cao Cao led Xu Chu, Xu Huang and other generals, and went happily.He was still enthusiastic and unrestrained as usual, and he only recounted the old relationship with Han Sui, not mentioning the embarrassing situation at present, and talked about some anecdotes about the Luoyang era. Laughing, there is nothing like the enemy that was negotiated in the peace talks just now.However, he didn't pay much attention to Ma Chao. Ma Chao looked at these coldly. In the past few months, the soldiers of various tribes in Kansai have been defeated by Cao Cao, and their names have not been heard for a long time.Unexpectedly, they were quite curious to see the real face today.

Cao Cao and Han Sui resigned after drinking, and walked in front of the Kansai Army. Seeing all the soldiers vying to look at him, they laughed loudly and said: "Do you all want to know me, Cao Cao? In fact, I'm just an ordinary person. I don't have four eyes and two mouths. It's just that I'm more resourceful!" After saying that, he laughed again with Han Sui and left.The army of Kansai was seized by it.Ma Chao was very angry when he saw it. After Cao Cao came back, he told Jia Xu the details of seeing Han Suizhi, but Jia Xu smiled and said nothing.Two days later, Jia Xu said to Cao Cao: "Ma Chao only has the courage of a man and doesn't know secrets. Now he has some doubts about Han Sui. Now the prime minister writes another letter to Han Sui. Han and Ma will kill each other." Cao Cao asked in surprise, "How can you see that?" Jia Xu said: "The Prime Minister wrote to Han Sui, saying a few words about the peace talks between the two armies, and then invited Han Sui to come to my camp to have a good time. But he must deliberately alter the important matters such as peace negotiations. In this way, Ma Chao will naturally Rush with Han Sui." Cao Cao was overjoyed, so he revised a letter according to Jia Xu's plan, and ordered Yu Jin to send it to Han Sui's camp. After Yu Jin left, Ma Chao got the report, so he came to Han Sui's camp and asked him for a book to read: but he saw that there were traces of obliteration in all the important places where the two armies discussed peace.Feeling suspicious, I asked, "Why are there so many redacts in the letter?" Han Sui replied: "So that's the case, I don't know why." Ma Chao's face suddenly changed, his eyes widened, and he said angrily: "Is there any saying that you are giving away a draft? It must be because my uncle was afraid that I would know the details of Cao Cao's conspiracy with you, so he redacted it first."
